W: Good evening, everyone. In tonight's show I'll talk about Stephen and Jenny's Corryvale Farm and their business. Corryvale Farm is in the west of England. Stephen and Jenny keep cows and chickens and sell milk and eggs. But most of their money comes from Jenny's sheep. She has 50 sheep and each one has enough wool for for sweaters. Every six months, Stephen cuts the wool off the sheep so they won’t get too warm. One year ago, Jenny made some sweaters with the wool and tried to sell them at country markets. But it was summer and the weather was hot so people didn’t want to buy sweaters. She then made some socks. Everybody loved them because they were strong, not expensive and easy to wash. That's how Jenny’s business started. At first she made the socks at home, but soon she had thousands of customers so she had to send the wool to a factory, where all the socks are now made on machines. There are six colors, five sizes for all ages, and different socks for walkers, sportsmen and skiers. Jenny is busiest at Christmas because Corryvale socks are a favorite present. On the wall of Jenny's office, there are lots of letters from happy customers all over the world.
